August 6, 2012 Lightning Sunset
I was taking some pictures of the sunset as the Sun shined through a rain shaft of a severe thunderstorm to my west. As I was taking pictures I noticed some great lightning but new there was no way I could time my shots to catch one, so I switched to video mode. I was really happy when I found this frame on the video and was able to take a screen shot.

It wasn't quite sunset when I took this picture. I was driving west on Interstate 8 just east of Gila Bend when I saw this. I'm glad I pulled over to take a few shots.

The first picture is one of my favorites on the site. The rest are examples of how neat this sunset was. As always, the pictures don't do the reality justice. Another reminder to get outside and enjoy some sunets in person! Click on a pic for a 1024 x 768 wallpaper.

It's been a stormy night around Tucson, although not so much in Oro Valley. An outflow boundry blew through and our temperature dropped from 101 to 90 in about a half hour. Winds were in the 30mph range with some higher gusts. All that,but no rain. Parts of Tucson and south and east did get a good soaking. The clouds made for some nice scenes in the sky. Here are a few.
